ankees in not losing any of their key men; (2) the luck of the National league in retaining all its first line, big name players.
Of course things may begin to work out differently before April 14 rolls around, but if the Yankees go to the past with their present outfit they are apt to win the American league pennant by an even wider margin than tney did a year ago when they finished 17 lengths in front.
LOSSES LIGHT
As a matter of fact the Yanks have lost four ball players to Uncle Sam, but if Ed Barrow could have picked the four men he wanted to go he couldn’t have done a better
Sylvestri was a third-string catcher last season and in addition was laid up most of the season because of an appendectomy. Sturm’s j first base job would have been in I jeopardy even if he hadn’t gone to the army. Stanceu and Peek, j while fine prospects, won’t be missed because the Yanks have a number of brilliant young pitchers coming up headed by Johnny Lin-dell from Newark.
RIVALS HIT HARD
Yankee luck isn’t confined to its own ranks. It’s not only what the Yanks haven’t lost, but what their rivals have lost. The draft has ruined the Red Sox’s chances of
[ickey Harris and Earl Johnson.
On top of that it seems likely that the Red Sox also may lost John Pesky, the Louisville flash who was ticketed to play shortstop, and Ulysses Lupien, the former Harvard boy who is also a strong candidate to take over Jimmy Fcxx’ post.
FELLER GOES
Cleveland was dealt a crushing blow when Bob Feller went into the navy. The Senators lost two of their key men, Cecil Travis, runner-up to Williams for the American league batting crown, and Buddy Lev/is, and undoubtedly would wind up in the cellar but for the tact that the Athletics probably will suffer more than they do.
The way things are shaping up it begins to look as if the White Sox, with their antiquated, draft-proof pitching staff, might be the Yanks’ m6st powerful pennant rivals.
NAME MEN RETURN
Not since the Phils lost Hugh Mulcahy last spring has the National league had a prominent player called up. Of the league’s 20 top pitchers and 40 top hitters not a single one appears right new to be in serious danger of having to go.
Even though the National league ! seems to have saved most of its | greatest .players, it won’t profit 1 them any in the long run unless I Uncle Sam gets around to “break- I ing up the Yanks.”
TROJAN
SPORTS
PARADE
Frosh Engage in Rough Tilt
Troy’s freshman basketball squad and the Spartan quintet engaged in another of their rough-and-tumble scrimmages yesterday and Coach Bob McNeish laid his plans of battle for Friday night’s clash with the Fresno High school five.
Had there been an official refereeing the “game,” all players on both sides probably would have been fouled out before the game was many minutes old.
The Trobabes looked none too good at first yesterday, taking a form reversal from the previous day. Their passing and shooting was ragged and erratic, and the Spartans tallied time after time through a vulnerable defense.
They finally settled down somewhat, however, and toward the end of the scrimmage sank an occasional basket.
The rest of the afternoon was devoted to taking the ball off the backboard after free throws. Art Gordon looked especially good, retrieving the ball on numerous occasions and passing to the forwards.
Swimmers Wanted
All swimmers who have not yet reported to Coaches Fred Cady or Ed Bittke, varsity and freshman swimming coaches, respectively, are urged to see either coach at the university pool any afternoon. There are positions open on both squads for swimmers who show ability.

Stop Al Papike and you stop San Diego!” With this theory in mind, Coach Arnold Eddy takes his Trojan sextet to jhe Westwood arena tonight for a final workout prior to the weekend’s crucial series with the Skylarks. The drill was originally slated for Tuesday.
Papike has been the main cog in the six-game winning streak that the border skaters now boast. In a pre-season tilt, the former Loyola ace was personally responsible for wiping out SC’s 5-3 lead in a wild last-period rally.

Eddy has scheduled a stiff scrimmage for this evening with a half-hour given over entirely to the perfection ol the famous power play.

Baer Reports Ring Comeback
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14— (IIP) — Former Heavyweight Champion j Max Baer today announced Pro- j mo ter Mike Jacobs had approached j him on the possibility of a match ' with Bob Pastor in New York city i this May.
Making a surprise appearance be-fore the California assembly dur- j ing a wartime session, Baer said he was anxious to meet Pastor, who , was once his sparring partner be- I fore Baer’s fight with Max Schmel-ing in 1933.
Baer also said he had applied some months ago to the army for enlistment as a physical education instructor and would renew his application after the Pastor fight, or earlier if it is not scheduled.
Baer said he would discuss the match next week when his manager, Ancil Hoffman, returns from New York city with Buddy Baer,, the younger brother who lost to
Champion Joe Louis for the second time last Friday.
“Now that Buddy is announcing his retirement from the ring, I’ll j have to make my sixth comeback,” j
frmcrcnampions had checked in. They were Sam Snead, Dick Metz, Harry Cooper, Jimmy Demaret, and Leonard Dodson.
Ben Hogan, who just added the Los Angeles open to his long string of victories, was a tournament favorite. Last year Hogan finished in a three-way tie with Dodson and Dutch Harrison, with Dodson winning the rain-scaked playoff.
Among the amateurs, Tom Perry, Oakland, led the pre-qualify-ing round at Lake Chabot with a 34-33—67, five under par. Dean McDowell, also of Oakland, carded a 68. Best practice score at Sequoyah was turned in by George Fazio, Philadelphia professional, who carded a 68.
Cal Claims Hal Davis
Hal Davis, who tied the world’s 100-meter sprint record while competing for Salinas Junior college, has definitely decided to enroll at the University of California at the beginning of the spring semester.
Defense a la Papike will the rest of the session.
The starting Cardinal and Gold lineup will find Jock Richardson, Dick Tougas, and Henry Cohan in the front line; Jack Camay and Tim Stark at defense; and Jerry Beranek at goalie.
HUSSEY PLAYS DEFENSE
George Hussey* ex-goalie, will be in a defense spot for the first time tomorrow night, and Eric Beauchamp, who rejoined the squad last week, will appear on the second offensive line. Bill Lowry, who has been improving rapidly, will also see much action.
Eddy has declared that due to loss of Harry Black the attack will be centered about Jock Richardson, another product of Canadian rinks. At 20, the Calgary, Alberta, youth is one of the youngest seniors at Troy and has been a mainstay on the team for three seasons. SKYLARKS RATE EDGE
The 5-5 non-league tie was the only meeting of the two squads. If comparative scores mean anything,-and they usually dcn’t, the southerners boast a big edge. For example, against the Bakersfield Oilers, the Skylarks won 10-2 while the Trojans lost, 4-3.
Tomorrow night’s game will begin at 8:15 with the biggest crofwd of the year expected. The following day the teams travel to San Diego for the second tilt at the Glacier Palace at 8 p.m.
Phelps Signs With Pirates
ODENTON, Md., Jan. 14r-(U.P) — Babe (the Blimp) Phelps, stormy petrel who quit catching for the Brooklyn Dodgers last June and became history’s only player to abandon a pennant-winning team, signed a contract today with the Pittsburgh Pirates and announced he was darned happy — because he is pretty tired of spending his time painting houses.
“Best thing that ever could have happened was my trade to the Pirates,” the 1941 season mystery man stated flatly. “I don’t want to play anywhere I’m not wanted. I’m sure I’ll like it at Pittsburgh. The Pirates are going to have a good club and they’ll give everybody in the league something to look for. I’m really glad to get the change.”
